Hi

I've read the blurb about these guys being solely based on terra, but would love to do a few to play.

has anybody ever done stats and rules for these guys?

I was imagining them sent out in ones and twos as envoys maybe

cheers

From the fluff I've read (the first 4 Horus Heresy Books) the custodes are/were the emperors personal bodyguard. I imagine they are now the guardians of the governmental buildings of Terra. Similar to the Swiss Guard in the Vatican. The models do exist but not from GW. The companies that released the primarch models also released custodes models as well. I don't know if stats accompanied the models.

If I am wrong its not my intention to mislead.

That's sort of inappropriate. The Custodes gear included a lascannon, at least it did the last time they had official stats.

not true anymore however, books say guardian spear had a built in bolter

Yeah, everything everywhere has the Bolter built in.
